description |
This species has a pale yellowish-white body with a red, orange, or brown color pattern. This species is banded, with two noticeable transverse bands across the wings, ranging from being somewhat opaque to uniformly dark and covering most of the wings in a somewhat 'fused' color pattern (the latter resembling some individuals of Erythroneura bistrata). The vertex midline is pale, and the face lacks black spots, with the anteclypeus pale and concolorous with the rest of the face. The pronotum is either dark with pale lateral margins or pale with dark longitudinal stripes (typical of the genus). The mesonotum is completely dark, and the apex is concolorous with the rest of the mesonotum. The underside of the thorax is entirely dark, and the abdomen is dark dorsally. The forewings lack a dark spot on the costal margin or in the apical cells. Adults are 2.7 to 2.9 mm long. (INHS)

Comment: E. fumida requested, i went ahead & included both on same date as all on same evening. there were several around at the same time that looked similar, but hard to tell since i didn't photograph them all. i think these are 2 different individuals though photos not taken at the same time? | ![](photos_records/2024/03/tnErythridula_fumida1710606686_1.jpeg) | Photo by: tom ward Buncombe Co.
